Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising resource for the therapy of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) on the grounds of their differentiation capabilities and immuno-modulatory characteristics. Results of clinical studies indicate that local application of MSCs is a secure and beneficial approach for the treatment of perianal fistulas while systemic application of MSCs leads to the attenuation or aggravation of IBDs. Herein, we emphasized molecular mechanisms and approaches that should improve efficacy of MSC-based therapy of IBDs.Entities:
